Business Development Manager

Remote (LATAM / US-friendly) · Contract → Full-Time Potential

Want to help drive growth for a company building the technical teams behind ambitious AI products? FutureProofing embeds senior, AI-native engineers directly into founding teams so they can ship real LLM, RAG, and multi-agent systems in weeks, not months. We're looking for highly proactive relationship-builders who thrive in fast-moving environments, love outbound strategy, and know how to create momentum from conversations. This is not a passive account management role. This is for people who enjoy opening doors, building trust quickly, and understanding what actually drives value for the founders and investors they talk to.

Why this role exists

FutureProofing is growing quickly, and the partnerships we build are getting deeper. As demand increases, we need strong Engagement Managers who can generate opportunities, build relationships with startup leaders, and drive strategic conversations that turn into long-term partnerships. This role exists to help scale our outbound, partnership, and client acquisition efforts.

About FutureProofing

We pair AI engineers, technical product managers, and rapid prototyping workflows with the founders, operators, and innovation teams who need to ship fast. We move fast, operate with high trust, and care deeply about communication quality, ownership, and execution. This isn't a traditional corporate environment. Ambiguity is normal here, and the people who thrive are highly proactive builders.
